New Year, new freckles… OK OK, so its freaking March, I know, but did you go outside today? It was absolutely beautiful, sunny and warm. I even walked out in a t-shirt.

I will never say that Facebook is a useless site again; I found, or rather Sarah found me through my friend Ian Merritt, and contacted me wanting to participate in my little project.

These were taken in and around the Lincoln Square area, nice walking and some awesome textures to be found in the alleys. I know people want their neighbors to fix up their properties but I really love those dilapidated falling apart garages, fences and walls, keep ’em coming Chicago.
